Shawn is solving the equation

Question

X/7- 47 = -6

Answer 1

To solve the equation, we will isolate the variable X.

Start by adding 47 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the constant term on the left side:

X/7 - 47 + 47 = -6 + 47

This simplifies to:

X/7 = 41

Now, multiply both sides of the equation by 7 to eliminate the denominator:

(7)(X/7) = (7)(41)

This simplifies to:

X = 287

Therefore, the solution to the equation is X = 287.
